Summary
I am a patient and client-focused veterinarian with over 18 years of veterinary experience in addition to upholding ANZCVS membership in feline medicine. I have proven veterinary clinical leadership experience with a strong focus and interest in feline internal medicine and surgery. I am a collaborative team player, with a can-do, will-do attitude, with proven strengths in operations management and planning.
My goal at this point in my career is to continue to practice veterinary medicine at a high level with a feline only focus while being part of a compassionate team of professionals, delivering gold standard feline veterinary care.
